Verdict

Blake Dean will be popular in view of connections but was beaten in a seller last time. He may well oblige in a modest race and his last success, back in January 2014, did come on heavy ground but he'll offer little in the way of value. Swaledale Lad would be the one at his best but has looked on the downgrade for some time despite the imposition of topweight and Roll Of Thunder has yet to encounter forecast conditions in 25 starts under both codes. Tish Hall is out of the handicap, Catchthemoonlight has been absent for over a year and Carters Rest hasn't shown too much this term so SWEET HOLLY is taken to build on a respectable soft ground effort here latest as the only member of the field with scope for notable improvement.
